Good, knowledgeable people at manufacturing sitesWork can be challenging and interestingNew company energy, in some waysAbove average pay

Cons

Corporate management focused on Wall Street and short term financials, at the cost of building strong customer and employee tiesUpper management bloat, while job cutting at profit making plantsLots of knee-jerk reaction and about-face in corporate direction causes unnecessary internal stress

Advice to Management

Focus on customers and employees, you can't build a company strictly by trying to drive the stock price.

Project time lines are completely unrealistic. Employees are expected to work literally around the clock to meet these goals. To say people are overworked would be an understatement. And listening to management joke about how much we work and how little sleep we get is a slap in the face. Many people have left the company recently but management doesn't seem to see or care that they're driving good people away. The corporate mission statement touts "respect for people". Don't believe it.

Advice to Management

The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. When every project is a cluster and no lessons are learned and no changes are made one can only assume you either don't see it or don't care. I don't know which is worse, but it's no way to succeed in the long term.

Still a lot of good people still there (ex-DuPont) employees, very good people & great co-workers.

Cons

Since buyout in 2013 and becoming "axalta", completely different company. Only worried about share holders stock. Treat employees like garbage, pay structure is horrible, bonus is smallest of ALL competitors.

Advice to Management

Drain the swamp of upper / middle management. Micro managing is taking over an most all employee's moral is at all time low. Company is moving in opposite direction.
